63rd Street Beach

This expanse of sand abutting Jackson Park contains a stately restored beach house with dramatic breezeways. It's next to a yacht harbor, and exudes a charm lacking at beaches with more modern facilities. Kids love the splashy, interactive water fountains. There are a couple of bars and grills for refreshments. Lifeguards patrol in summer.
